So... $1 million profit. Seems a good business deal.
That was my first take, but farther down in the article is this: “...had to forfeit $1.2 million, much of which was already seized from her home.”
It’s a regular dog’s breakfast of an article. Impossible to decipher.
As clearly stated in the article, the $544k fine is in addition to forfeiting $1.2 million in proceeds from the crimes.
